Reads the Electoral Commission's free public register of donations and loans to UK political parties, party members/accounting units, permitted participants, third-party campaigners and regulated donees (e.g. leadership or by-election candidates).
Source: the search results API behind search.electoralcommission.org.uk
- a keyless, public JSON endpoint. No login, no scraping, no bot-detection bypass. Data is Crown/Electoral Commission copyright, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
What you get
One row per donation or loan record: recipient name and type, donor name and status (individual/company/trade union/unincorporated association...), value in GBP, donation type (cash/non-cash/sponsorship), accepted/received/ reported dates, reporting period, accounting unit, register (Great Britain or Northern Ireland) and the Electoral Commission's own reference number.
This is the same public interest data UK newsrooms and transparency campaigners (openDemocracy, Transparency International UK, Sky News data unit, etc.) manually check the register for - who is funding which party, in what size, and how often a donor repeats.
Input
- From date / To date (
fromDate/toDate,YYYY-MM-DD) - the search window. Defaults to the last 30 days. - Date field to filter on (
dateType) -Reported(default, matches the register's own default view) orAccepted. - Recipient entity types (
entityTypes) - restrict to parties (pp), party members/accounting units (ppm), third-party campaigners (tp), permitted participants in a referendum (perpar) or regulated donees (rd). Leave empty for all types. - Minimum donation value (
minValue, GBP) - only push donations at or above this size. 0 = no minimum. - Watch label (
watchLabel) - optional free-text tag copied onto every row, useful when you schedule this Actor repeatedly and want to tell runs apart. - Max items (
maxItems) - safety cap on rows pushed (API pages 10 rows at a time).
Notes
- The Electoral Commission's API only returns rows for
dd/MM/yyyystyle date parameters; this Actor converts theYYYY-MM-DDinput for you. - If the API is unreachable or returns something unexpected, the Actor
pushes a single
type: "error"row explaining what happened instead of failing silently. - Figures come straight from the Commission's own published register - no totals or comparisons are calculated by this Actor.
